No sorry, he is too whupped for that.

I'm not saying he is. But it's the prevailing theory. Or at least the most persistent one. I'm beginning to lean towards Gaeta...

I appreciate you posting the Buddhist videos.

You're very welcome, kurtk. More to follow...

Bread sounds good..I need a new oven, stat!

Happy New Year!

You too, Casino.

Speaking of "White Christmases"; it's STILL snowing here. This is the most snow PDX has seen in Decenber since 1968! There's a frackin' FOOT of snow outside my door. Holy !#%!!

I hope that some of that snow makes it out here to the mountains.

BSG FTW!

I was hit by a tractor trailer once during a snow storm. We were on the highway (me in the left lane, him in the center), when a car spun out in front of us in the center lane. The truck braked to slow his inevitable impact with the spinning car. When he hit the car, it slid him over into my lane, clipping the rear of my car and sending me spinning. I came to a stop facing head on into traffic and the truck was still sliding towards me - stopping only a few feet from my front bumper.

Staying home sounds like the right idea.

BTW - sorry to hear things are going such shit for you right now. Patience is definitely the answer, as aggravating as it may be at times.

Thanks bro...

I didn't know you had a kid!
You've reminded me that I need to buy a part to fix my stick blender.

Yeah, I have an 18-year-old step-daughter that's so much my kid that I most likely will legally adopt her sometime soon. That way if anything happens to me, she'll get my Social Security death benefit et al. I've been more her dad these last nine years than her bio-father ever even tried to be. I nearly lost her twice to really bad decisions, so having her back in my life means a lot to me. When I move sometime next spring, she'll live with me...

Thanks go to all you ladies. I sincerely appreciate the sentiments...

Long-term couples tend to have waxing and waning sex lives. If the two are *fortunate* then they discover that after the initial stage of "let's fuck all the time" passes, they desire sex at similar frequencies. Many couples are not so fortunate. Just because she has less desire for sex than you do does not mean that she does reciprocate the emotional side of it! In fact, the fact that she's willing to participate even though her heart isn't always into it would attest to the fact that she really does have feelings for you.
Nonetheless, I can see how you'd feel a bit hurt and betrayed by her sentiment, and it's perfectly legitimate for you to feel that you want a long-term partner who has sex drive that more closely matches your own.

I think that speed-dating is silly, and probably superficial as well. I mean, WHY? All you get to know is what the person looks like and 5 minutes' worth of conversation. That is not nearly enough to determine much of anything. Sigh. The dating game sucks so much. I

Do you have AIM? It would be nice to talk to you on AIM sometime. You seem like such a fascinating person that I have some relevant things in common with. If not, maybe phone?

some combination of the two does sound like the best option. good luck with that! lol!

but if i had to choose i'd say stable hippie-chick fo'sure. last thing you want is some crazy young'un going op on you

stable older hippie chick? they have those?

i'm always proud and happy to see people going through life with their head up and their mind open. congrats on that, despite the hardship.

As weird as it sounds that sounds amazing. As a child I watched my mom go through two ugly divorces and the fact that the two of you are able to do this so gracefully is wonderful. I hope it continues that way and that you both will find the happiness that you have been missing.
